20395. Magoseph - 10/18/2006 1:47:39 PM Hello, Mac, Jen and everyone--we're getting ready for the procedure on Flexy's left hand.
Ali, tell me--if your daughter continues at this rate, is it conceivable that she may have a maitrise at twenty?
Have a nice day, dear faithful Moties. Where is Papa Pelle these days?
20396. Magoseph - 10/19/2006 12:52:45 AM Back and happy--no more Squamous Cell Carcinoma. 20397. arkymalarky - 10/19/2006 3:30:51 AM Good news, Mags!
And congrats to Alistair's daughter! 20398. Jenerator - 10/19/2006 3:32:06 AM What a relief, Mags! 20399. Magoseph - 10/19/2006 3:47:05 PM Yes, Arky and Jen--we're elated--no more sun for Flexy! 20400. judithathome - 10/20/2006 3:37:13 AM The doctor who did my colonoscopy three years ago tracked me down and now I have to have another...Monday the 30th. Happy friggin' Halloween to me. 20401. jexster - 10/20/2006 3:38:14 AM :=P 20402. judithathome - 10/20/2006 3:54:17 AM Appreciate your concern...ha!
I'm really down because I think we are going to have to put our dog down...he's been having little episodes the past few days, like little strokes...he will be 18 in December and I have never had a day in this house without him. I know I should be thinking about him and not me but it is really hard because he seems fine except for these little lapses...
Go ahead and laugh, whoever it was who made such fun of those of us who see our pets as family members...but he really is. 20403. arkymalarky - 10/20/2006 4:25:36 AM Oh Judith, I hope it hasn't come to that yet! He's such a sweetie! Please keep us posted on how he is. That's such a tough thing to decide, but when it's time, it's time. And we found when we had Sasha put to sleep that they completely trust your judgment to the very end.
I "saved" the most pitiful little dog on the way to work this week and took her to the vet, thinking he'd euthanize her. But no, though she hardly has any hair and can barely walk, she's eating and he said she's nine or ten and doesn't seem to have life-threatening health issues. She looks like death warmed over, though. I don't know her story, but it's a sad one, at least now. She had a collar, but no id tag. Mose is keeping her and I've already spent over $100 on her. My parents are kicking in more when she goes to the vet again next Tuesday to get shots and her teeth cleaned. I'm still mulling over how to break that to Bob. Or whether to.... If I can remember I'll take a picture and post it, if she lives long enough. 20404. judithathome - 10/20/2006 4:31:30 AM Thanks, Arky. I'm really a mess over this...as you can imagine.
Klaus hasn't "smiled" in over two years. Remember how he used to? 20405. arkymalarky - 10/20/2006 4:36:45 AM Ohhh, I didn't realize that! Two years! He must have really aged since we last saw him. 20406. judithathome - 10/20/2006 4:45:58 AM He has. 20407. judithathome - 10/20/2006 4:48:23 AM Arks...you've got mail. 20408. Jenerator - 10/20/2006 4:50:05 AM That's sad.
-----------------
Good luck Arky. That was nice of you to rescue him. 20409. alistairconnor - 10/20/2006 1:12:10 PM Ali, tell me--if your daughter continues at this rate, is it conceivable that she may have a maitrise at twenty?
Counting on my fingers, she would be passing her Bac at age 16... so that's possible. Though the French four-year degree is in decline, replaced by the international standard 5-year masters.
Come to think of it, my elder sister started university at 17. Didn't do her any harm, as far as I can see.
On the other hand... I haven't yet abandoned the idea of taking the kids back to NZ for a year (which would probably end up with them dropping a year in the French system, which wouldn't do them any harm). 20410. jexster - 10/20/2006 6:29:05 PM Quote for the Day
The two most common things in the Universe
are hydrogen, and stupidity. 20411. Magoseph - 10/20/2006 6:52:19 PM I read this in the WSJ in an article about critical thinking:
The same person who rationally analyzes all her portfolio options also believes she was abducted by aliens. The same person who critically parses newspaper editorials for lapses of logic believes in astrology. 20412. thoughtful - 10/20/2006 7:23:36 PM J@h, so sorry to hear about klaus. They are members of our family and when they go, it leaves a tremendous hole in our hearts. 20413. Ms. No - 10/20/2006 11:11:18 PM Judith, share a hug with Klaus from me --- or you take the hug and give Klaus a pat. I'll be thinking of you and sending good thoughts out Tejas way. 20414. judithathome - 10/21/2006 3:56:22 AM He was better today...I am hoping we can delay taking him to our vet til the 30th, when our vet gets back in town...he's scampering around Europe right now.
He seemed almost perky this afternoon.
This is vexing...
